HP StoreFront Analytics unexplained differences between vCOPS and vROPS

[Genesisfan]

We have four 3PAR's and we use HP StoreFront Analytics for VMware vRealize Operations Manager.

We have two versions running:

- vCOPS 5.8.4 (build 2199700) and HP StoreFront Analytics 2.1.480

- vROPS 6.02765404 and HP StoreFront Analytics 3.0.574

I do see some unexplained differences between for instance 3PAR Health in vCOPS and vROPS.

See attachments.

vC Ops pretty much just used Anomalies/DTs and KPI for calculating health on non-vSphere resources (vSphere were badge| which consider workload,anom and faults). vR Ops introduced the ability for MPs to better/easier define their derived metrics such as workload, health, etc. Hp may have gotten on-board with their new MP to leverage those new capabilities. If you go in to the /conf folder in the HP plug-in under the covers, I bet you'd see some changes in how the files are configured and what amount of structure is defined to leverage the new vROps derived metrics. And so.. I'd bet your differences are a mix of MPs developing their derived metrics and changes in the way vR Ops can calc health.
